Consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers stated in their 2005 Global CEO Survey Bold, Ambitious, Careful Choices, that corporations want a shot at getting a niche out of emerging markets especially in China and India. Globalization is now not only viewed as unstoppable, but an asset in the realization of business goals. Samuel DiPiazza, chief executive of PricewaterhouseCoopers International even stated that majority of CEO’s see it as a potential means to get new customers.

Both local and international companies have expressed positive feelings over this shift and only 12% view such a change as negative.
